"She's just a ghetto ****"
 
Surely this is racist? Do you think she'll get warned?

She should get thrown out tbh.

Vicky. 14-01-2016 08:57 PM

I just said that to my partner, expecting a warning tbh.

Jordan. 14-01-2016 08:57 PM

She should be warned for her entire behaviour

warrenhill 14-01-2016 08:57 PM

Plenty of white people live in the ghetto....

TomC 14-01-2016 08:58 PM

Yeah how is ghetto racist

lewis111 14-01-2016 08:58 PM

She obvs has some problems too if she reacts like that out of no where
Eject her for her own and everyone safety

warrenhill 14-01-2016 08:58 PM

Why should she be thrown out .....?

Just what BB is all about......a total fruit cake

ThriceShy 14-01-2016 08:58 PM

Ghettos are not reserved for black people. In fact to think so is racist in itself.

Drew. 14-01-2016 08:59 PM

is it racism for saying that about how someone talks? Tiffany did put on that kind of ghetto act when she started shouting at Gemma. Only Megan knows what she meant by it though.

Eject that mess.

BB4fan 14-01-2016 09:00 PM

No, it isn't racist.

Helen called Aisylene ghetto tons of times and she was white.

Stevep 14-01-2016 09:00 PM

Did she not just say that she was the only one that defended Tiffany when John was saying that she should leave.........and now she's a racist?

But we know damn well that's not what is meant by ghetto.

wendywillow 14-01-2016 09:01 PM

the world is a ghetto

reece(: 14-01-2016 09:02 PM

It is a prejudice word.

:douf:i hope the pork pie hat aint racist.

LukeB 14-01-2016 09:03 PM

Also... the housemates didn't claim to be scared over Megan but was with Tiffany.. Megan acted worse than Tiffany.

Firewire 14-01-2016 09:03 PM

It was a synonym for black. We know fine well if she had said "black ****" she would've been ejected.

Vanessa 14-01-2016 09:03 PM

She will get a warning, because she was way too aggressive.

Pete. 14-01-2016 09:04 PM

Why do all my casual faves become problematic? Get that warning Megan

Calderyon 14-01-2016 09:05 PM

If she gets warned (which she deserves), Tiffany should be too for the comments she made against Gemma.

And she would not have defended her if she was a racist. Simples.

smudgie 14-01-2016 09:07 PM

Don't see it as racist.
But coming from such a common foul mouthed moronic Chav as Megan it was quite jaw dropping.
She needs to take water with it next time she drinks, behaviour like that outside the house can lead to serious trouble for her.

This is true. It's not about the literal word, it's about the meaning, and most people know what is meant by it. I suppose it depends if Megan knew. And if she HAD said 'black ****', I swear that some people on here would defend her by saying "Well Tiffany IS black so what's the problem, she was just describing her" :rolleyes:

Tom4784 14-01-2016 09:09 PM

It's reaching to say that Megan didn't say that because of racial reasons.

She also called Gemma "Trash" and we all know dam know that means "white trash" which is also racist.

Livia 14-01-2016 09:10 PM

No one's been called 'ghetto' more in times in that house than Ashleyne but suddenly it's racist?

That was different though. Aisleyne was consistantly referred to as a 'wigger', so there were still racial undertones to her being called it imo.

Plenty of white people eat chicken but there were about 4 threads over it being racist the other day. :shrug:

reece(: 14-01-2016 09:17 PM

She's probably too uneducated to realise the word ghetto is offensive to the black community though.

Livia 14-01-2016 09:18 PM

I'm a little tired of the forensic examination that happens every time a white person says something that was more than likely an offhand comment and nothing to do with race. I don't see calling someone Ghetto is racist, Ghetto is more like an urban cultural movement, isn't it? I don't see any difference in calling Ashleyne Ghetto and calling Tiffany Ghetto.

cassieparis 14-01-2016 09:23 PM

Megan should be warned but I don't think it is necessarily racist but could be construed as such.

If Tiffany called Jemma "Trash" I'm not so sure we would be crying that the missing words relate to Jemma's beginnings or skin color.

Stevep 14-01-2016 09:26 PM

Is Tiffany guilty of fattism?

The black community,oh my ****ing god.:umm2:

zakman440 14-01-2016 09:29 PM

She shouldn't have said it, so I'd expect a warning.
